I think you better buy motherboards from GIGABYTE or MSI based on AMD 790G chipset,having onboard graphics(which are better than ATI Radeon HD 2600 GPU's)in terms of performance & features.The onboard graphics is an ATi Radeon 3300(which is very good for video and moderate 3D tasks,you can also play some old games).These motherboards contain socket AM2+,which is compatible with the latest Phenom-II processors(you only need a BIOS update!!). As far as I know ,Ubuntu-8.04(Hardy Heron) and 8.10(Intrepid Ibex)has drivers(AMD-ATi Radeon 3300) enabled in their kernels,so you need not have to search in the Ubuntu repositories(except for an update). Just go for it and enjoy the show of UBUNTU with AMD Phenom processors;AMD Motherboards and graphics.
